Thanks. I suppose that the doctor might be trying to mislead Zena.

What is the name of that episode?

D'Anna appears in 17 episodes. I don't think the summaries will reveal which one .

Season 2 episode 13 (Epiphanies) Baltar to Adama: "It [Cylon blood] has to be slightly different because the Cylon is not human. If our blood looks like this , for example (draws hexagon), and the Cylon's blood looks like this (draws octagon). then it's fair to assume that the Cylon-humsn is carrying an amalgam.... Now, knowing as we do that the Cylons are built slightly better to endure than their human counterparts, I wondered, could the Cylon blood also be blessed, with a heightened resistance to disease?" --- This dialog happens after Baltar has talked to a Number Six that he helped to free from the Pegasus, and she is organizing a campaign of sabotage against the human military, so who knows.

I watched season 2 ep. 18. There was so much that happened there on this subject, I\m going to have to watch it again.

I don't think that link works. This is the imdb link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0519766/?ref_=tt_ep_nx

_There's one scene where the HUMAN DOCTOR speaks with a HUMAN CYLON (the one who use to be XENA the WARRIOR PRINCESS) and explains to her how to him there's NO DIFFERENCE between a CYLON and a HUMAN due to the way BOTH of them BLEED the same kind of BLOOD. _>

I think found the episode. S3 ep 3 "Exodus: Part 1 "

What the cylon (#3) , not the doc, actually said was (pointing to some blood on the doc's smock) This stuff all looks the same

True. My original question was, what happens to the old cylon body after the current incarnation of an " individual " resurrectable cylon dies? For example, on New Caprica, Starbuck kills a Leoben several times. The body lies there for a while, but I still have not seen whether that body will decompose or they eventually send a cleanup crew.

Now that I have seen more of series 2 and 3, I am not convinced that what you posted is correct: >>>" there's NO DIFFERENCE between a CYLON and a HUMAN due to the way BOTH of them BLEED the same kind of BLOOD"<<< In fact, that seems to be a misquote. What actually happened was that a number 3 cylon, not the doctor, said all the blood looks the same, not that is is the same. But in fact we may be back where we started. I still don't have an answer to my original question. Human and cylon bodies may decompose the same way. I just don't know.

I am not convinced that humans and cylons have "the same kind of blood that humans have" in all respects. However, I did not claim that bodies don't rot in the same way. Maybe they do, maybe not. Baltar's cylon blood test did detect that #8 was a cylon but he lied about the result because #6 said if he told the truth #8 might kill him. Why didn't Baltar die in the nuclear blast? Possibilities: 1) The writers did not think about that 2) #6 claimed that she protected Baltar but maybe he survived for a different reason. In the Hiroshima blast on Aug 6 1944. tens of thousands died instantly, but in the Our Lady of the Assumption church. a half mile from the blast center, 8 Jesuit missionaries were unharmed by the blast, and in fact did not succumb to radiation poisoning. I went to Hiroshima in 1999.

Indeed, there is something unique about Baltar. Maybe he is neither human nor cylon. or maybe both.
